Hola Peter
The most natural way to say "in summer" in Spanish (when we are talking generally) is "en verano" (no article), but using the article wouldn't be incorrect either: Siempre voy a Málaga en el verano.
We we tend to use the definite article is when we start being more specific, for example:
Fui a Málaga en el verano de 1998.
I went to Málaga in the summer of 1998.
Saludos
